PIRATE BILL & SQUIDLY
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Pirate Bill and Squidly came jumpin’ through the sky
Said Pirate Bill to Squidly, “It’s a damn fine day to die!”
“For the sun is up, the sky is clear
There’s no cloud bank to be found,
Oh, they say ‘the sky’s the limit’
But we both know it’s the ground!"

Mountains capped in snow-white hats and skies of azure blue
120 miles an hour’s just fine for me and you
Oh there’s always chance of failure
But we make that choice to fall,
For how can you leap into your life
If you never jump at all?


NO LIMITS AND NO FEAR-
BETTER CHECK OUT ALL YOUR GEAR-
“GOT SAFETY” ON A RIBBON AND YOU'LL FIND
WITH YOUR SNEEKERS ON A CLOUD-
NO WHINERS ARE ALLOWED-
AND THE ONLY LIMIT IN THIS WORLD
IS THE ONE WITHIN YOUR MIND!

Pirate Bill and Squidly, they took me out to play,
Said Pirate Bill and Squidly, “You will learn to live today”
“Just arch your back and spread your arms
Let the wind scream in your ears-
And when you have finally touched the ground
You’ll have turned back twenty years!”

With Pirate Bill and Squidly, I’m at 15000 feet,
Said Pirate Bill and Squidly, “On the ground now we will meet”
“Oh you’ve come this far, claim who you are,
There’s no time left to hedge”
And hanging on those words alone, I stepped right off the edge!


Spinning and falling, your destiny calling,
You don’t think of death ‘cause you can’t catch your breath
You’re moving so fast and you want it to last
And you’re only just starting to let out a smile
The world turns around and you stare at the ground
And it’s so far away and you just want to stay
In the air a bit more, this is what life is for
And the chute opens up and you stop-

Pirate Bill and Squidly, came floating through the sky,
Said Pirate Bill and Squidly “Now you know how it’s to fly”
“Cause your heart is quick, your breath is short, your eyes are filled with pools
And your life can be just like this if you follow these few rules”-
